  I tried a larger sphere since I sent this message and the sparks did
 decrease around the wire but there is still significant discharge from
 the wire. The type of sparks have changed though, from several sparks to
 maybe one or two sparks thicker at the base rotating rapidly around the
 sphere. I have a toroid but it is too large for the power level that I'm
 at now.

My coil was breaking out prematurely the same and it turned out to be the
tune. I just kept fiddleing with it and it started to break out on the
topload. I also had it jumping to the primary because of the primary being
too high on the secondary and coupled too close I think.   Stephen.
